Course Overview

Leading SAFe 5.0 is a comprehensive training program offered by Scaled Agile, designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead a Lean-Agile enterprise transformation using the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®). This course prepares attendees for the SAFe Agilist (SA) certification exam, a globally recognized credential that validates expertise in scaling Agile across large organizations. Ideal for executives, program managers, portfolio managers, and enterprise architects, Leading SAFe 5.0 enables leaders to drive strategic alignment, execute PI Planning, and foster a culture of continuous delivery. With over 20,000 enterprises having adopted SAFe worldwide, including 80% of Fortune 500 companies, this framework has become the de facto standard for business agility in complex environments.

The course covers core components of SAFe including Lean-Agile principles, Agile Release Trains (ARTs), Solution Trains, DevOps, Continuous Delivery Pipelines, and Lean Portfolio Management (LPM). While there is no traditional lab environment like AWS or Azure, participants engage in immersive, hands-on simulations—most notably a full-scale PI (Program Increment) Planning event—where they experience team synchronization, dependency resolution, and strategic planning in real time. Attendees practice building ARTs, aligning backlogs to strategic themes, and applying AI-powered tools such as SAFe CoPilot for faster decision-making. These interactive exercises mirror actual enterprise challenges, enabling learners to apply SAFe constructs immediately within their organizations.

By completing Leading SAFe 5.0, professionals are fully prepared to take the SAFe Agilist (SA) certification exam and join a global community of certified practitioners. Certified SAFe Agilists command an average salary of $135,000 in the U.S., reflecting high demand for transformational leadership in Agile at scale. Koenig Solutions offers official SAFe courseware, Guaranteed-to-Run batches, and expert-led training that ensures deep conceptual mastery and exam readiness. Graduates gain the ability to lead enterprise-wide Agile adoptions, improve product delivery speed, and position themselves for advanced roles such as Enterprise Agile Coach or Lean Portfolio Manager in today’s competitive digital landscape.
